Re: Official 2K Roster 03/23/12 is now up

I'm by no means a pro at all this newfangled technology stuff but here's what i did that seems to work for me without any problems that i've found to this point. go to 2kshare, download the latest roster and save it as a new file, go to load rosters and load said file and bam, good to go so far. on another note, wtf is up with Durant having a plus 1? ie he's a 93 but his rating has the blue arrow next to it making him a 94, only player i've seen this with.

Thanks for the assistance bro. I tried all that, I even tried an old roster file I had saved on usb and it is doing the same thing. I will have to clean all 2K off harddrive and start over which is fine. Since we are on a roster topic. Any idea how to unlock all the Legend teams without playing all those damn games?

yeah you must have a corrupt file somewhere or we're not trying to edit the same players because i haven't been able to replicate it. for the legends just go into your settings and set it to like 2 mins and rookie, but they're actually pretty fun to play as a break here and there. mj is incredible.

I don't know why people are getting so bent out of shape about having his real face in the game.

I am just glad they finally put him and Chandler back in the game in general. I will play with them regardless.

The 2K Insider strikes again!!! You shouldn't be surprised guys, the Insider has yet to give us upto date art modifications on players, he has so many players 3 point ratings jacked up real high and but midrange shooting set low its crazy how unrealistic the ratings are and how unaccurate some of them are. And also tendencies have are barely even touched in the roster update for players and teams.

The 3 point and midrange ratings this year for a 2K sports basketball game are outdated and crazy. Example he has Sessions mid range at 78 but 3point at 52, Sessions shoots in real life over 40% from mid range and about 40% for 3 pointers, its crazy how low his midrange shooting is. Also Majority of players in the league there Midrange fg% is higher than there 3 point% but in NBA2K12 there 3point ratings are boosted way higher than there midrange ratings??? Look through the rosters alot of players are rated 70 or below midrange rating but there 3 point ratings are 85 or above, it doesn't matchup at all of how those players shoot in real life. This is part of the reason playing online is a bad this year people will just jack up 3 pointers cause the ratings are so high for to many players, instead of posting up, running plays or shooting midrange jumpers.

Finally someone who seems to care about this, I've been saying this for weeks, 2k12 ratings (specially mid range and 3pt ratings) are the worst from the series so far. As you say , totally outdated, and I'm not talking about star players only, they need to update ALL the 3pt and mid ratings from EVERY player in the game. Don't agree with your last part though, a lot of players are good 3pt shooters but horrible or average mid range shooters (paul george, james harden...)


2k should contact someone from this forum to do the ratings, I will even do it for free. I find pathetic that they have a guy hired to do almost nothing

Is Derek Fisher on OKC?

What amazes me is there are guys who will do this for free and get it right YET 2k continues to use this same guy who has been doing a terrible job year in and year out. And yes im extremely disappointed that they didnt use that feature of updating art/graphics in a patch.

I gotta cosign with STL, the 3pt and mid rating is ridiculous they need to fix that.

Re: Official 2K Roster 03/23/12 is now up

Yes sir, Green has no career stats and from what others are claiming his cyberface is of another NBA player from the 90s. Let me try and explain in detail what is happening to me.

Logged into Xbox live account. Started NBA2K12; checked online to see if the new roster was ready; went back and reset the rosters and it keeps resetting the roster to the original NBA2K12 roster from launch date. I do not even have this roster saved anywhere. I cleared the cache and it still defaults to that roster. So now I download the new roster from 2k; load it and look it over. I click on any player and I can see their player cards etc. But when I attempt to edit them it will completely freeze up and I have to restart. This is the first time that I have not been able to reset roster and it automatically load the new one just released from 2K.

I am out of ideas.

Re: Official 2K Roster 03/23/12 is now up

stuck at work... can anyone be kind enough to let me know if the knicks had any player rating movement, at all? 5 game win streak and Stoudemire been playing like his old self... defense and intensity for the whole team up... i was sure Stat would go back up a little bit after his drop earlier in the season... and maybe we'd see some guys defensive ratings go up a bit...

but maybe that comes with added defensive pressure and help defense in the coaching sliders for them swapping mike d'antoni with mike woodson... i dunno.

Anyone know if the roster update has been applied to online associations yet?

Re: Official 2K Roster 03/23/12 is now up

So........Gerald's Green face is in MY game so, and this is just a guess, but he should be in your game as well.

Just a thought.


Glad to have Chandler back but in general they need a committed roster /post release guy. It's a damn shame that you have people on here who do not get paid by 2k but do more for the game post release than anyone on 2k's staff.


But hey that's what happens when you have no direct competition. Exclusivity ruins sports games no matter who is developing them. The opportunity to get lazy and count money must be way too tempting.

I'm in the wrong field.
